00:00 playing a really good team, good setting, good opportunity for us to be at home.
00:05 And the first half of this game, we couldn't get out of our way enough
00:11 to make them go long fields and keep the football.
00:15 And so they got off to a great start, really good drive to open up.
00:19 They go 45 with the next drive.
00:21 When they scored, 50 something with the next one.
00:23 So the field was too short to hold these guys down the way we needed to.
00:28 And we got nothing done on offense in the first half.
00:32 And so it really was halftime, here we go.
00:35 What are we gonna do about it?
00:36 Our guys jumped back and they got going in the game, we can get the football better.
00:40 We got off the field a few times, we get the turnover.
00:43 There's a moment in there where there's a time at that 14 points down where
00:47 one more score and it's gonna feel a whole lot different.
00:50 And we weren't able to get that closed off.
00:52 And so they get a good win and away they go.
00:56 And this is a really difficult team to play when you give them stuff and
01:02 give them the field position opportunities and we don't make our first downs.
01:05 And so it's gonna be hard for everybody against them.
01:09 And tonight, so we saw what that was like.
01:10 This is a tough stretch coming up for us.
01:13 As challenging as it can get, if we gotta clean it up,
01:16 we cannot give our opponents the opportunity to have short fields and
01:21 expect to get the kind of results we want.
01:23 So as always, the ball determines so much of it,
01:26 the turnovers determine so much of it.
01:28 And it's like the one for us almost did for us too.
01:32 It kind of turns the whole feeling of the game around.
01:34 So we go back to work, we gotta get our stuff done.
01:37 We got a really challenging game coming up next week.
01:39 And we don't have any time but to get back to work and do stuff right.
01:43 And coaches, players, everybody, all of us, it starts with me.
